Depends on who you ask. If you’re talking about people with the age of 30+ to -70, then yes.

If you talk to people over 70, I’ll bet the first names they’ll say are Lombardi and Starr.

And if you talk to teenagers, they’ll probably say Rodgers.

People saying Favre has more to do with the fact that most of the people alive either grew up in an era that the Packers had Favre or aren’t old enough to remember or to have seen Starr and Lombardi.

That age group has almost twice or triple the numbers of individuals that have come to understand about football only recently, or that only caught the last years of Favre, and the people that grew up in Lombardi’s era.

My point is that Packers fans and deeply intense NFL fans have a different view of The Pack historically than we do. Favre’s name comes up first for almost everybody abd not because of the circus of the last few years. He deserves all the awards.. ring of honor.. retored numbers.. renamed streets he got. He broke most every record in the business wearing our uniform.

To the original point: I sort of agree that Holmgren’s street was hasty but if he got one.. McCarthy should too.

I agree that they should have perhaps waited to make the announcement. Schmitt may have made the announcement strictly for political gain. But the fact remains that said it, and now people are waiting for it to happen.

As long as this continues to be an outstanding issue, I will believe that at least part of the hesitation has to do with the manner in which certain people, in particular Favre, left the Packers and thus left the city of Green Bay a constant reminder of how they left town.

As for naming streets, I’m all for it. You have to remember I’m from Chicago, where every street has a name. I mean, who was Dan Ryan? How about Edens? At least I know who Stevenson was.

I will agree and disagree.

I agree that declaration was made, and now the GB councils are dragging their feet. In fact, Ashwaubenon is thinking about taking it up instead if GB doesn’t poop or get off the pot.

On the other hand, I’m not a fan of the whole “naming streets” after a player/coach who JUST WON and is still in the middle of his career. Lombardi Avenue was not named right after his first Championship, but after he left Green Bay. In fact, there’s a seeming rush to honor both new names as well as old names over the last twenty years or so.

You have no idea under what auspices a player/coach will leave the team. Holmgren didn’t leave under fantastic circumstances, hiring away half our front office staff to Seattle. Obviously, Favre’s street was the subject of ridicule this year when it was replaced with Aaron Rodgers‘ name.

Maybe they are considering this, and finally deciding to take their time. But, if that’s the case, they should have done it before they announced it.
